Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study aims to develop EX-MysteryChem teaching module and to investigate the educators’ perception on the suitability of the EX-MysteryChem teaching module for teaching and learning for the learning area of Polymer Chemistry. This study is a developmental research design (DRD) with qualitative approach. The ADDIE model is used as the instructional design model in developing the EX-MysteryChem teaching module. The instruments used in this study are content validity evaluation form and interview protocol. Two Chemistry lecturers have been appointed to validate the content validity of EX-MysteryChem teaching module and two secondary chemistry teachers have been selected as respondents for this study. The data for the content validity was analyzed using Average Congruent Percentage (ACP), while the interview protocol was analyzed using the thematic analysis technique. The result show that the overall content validity is 96.2% value of the teaching module, the findings from the thematic analysis for the both semi-structured interviews were considered as suitable for teaching the learning area of polymer chemistry, but it will require some modification in order to successfully implemented into the teaching and learning session for form 5 chemistry lessons. In conclusion, this study successfully developed a problem-based learning module with high content validity. This study implicates the development of EXMysteryChem teaching module is capable to provide chemistry teachers a clear overview for problem-based learning teaching approach thus bridges the gap between theoretical learning and practical application about chemistry and increase the green chemistry awareness among students.
